I'm looking to start a new build and am looking to get something in the price/performance sweetspot, as opposed to going for max power, I don't play that many games and am more likely to do video editing/encoding. So not worried about strapping 2 vid cards in there or anything high-end like that.
I am thinking of an AMD Phenom x4 955 BE (£110ish) to start with and was looking for a good motherboard that is future-proof without being stupid. I was wondering if its sensible to go with the 890 chipset, I'm assuming that its better then the 880 etc, something like an ASRock 880G Extreme3 at around £82?
That gets me the heart of the system for a shade under £200, is there a better combo out there for around the same price?
